    The process and procedures for elections must be clear and fair.

    Explanation:

    The United States Supreme Court ruled that the manual re-processing of controversial ballots is unconstitutional. According to members of the Court, the procedure does not have a single standard, and, therefore, violates such a principle of the Constitution as equal protection of the rights of citizens. It is about 43 thousand ballots in all 67 counties of Florida, in which the will of the voter is not expressed clearly enough. Not having received clear instructions from the judiciary, the counting commissions of the counties determined this will at their own discretion. In some counties, the vote was counted as not a hole, but only a dent in the place of the ballot where the hole should be punched, in others - even those ballots by which voters voted for candidates for other posts, but did not express their attitude towards candidates for presidency. According to members of the counting commissions, if in all other cases the vote was for the Democrats, then the ballot should be counted by Al Gore. This practice is illegal. However, the Supreme Court does not deny Florida's right to recount disputed ballots.
